Quality easy to watch video nice👍 looking at getting some of these for my fishing adventures next year remote lakes and rivers on the bike. 30” rods but still a 42” landing net,imagine a sonic recon landing net with 30-42 inch arms, dream package 😍

[@greggbeere6007]

I wish we had extractor rods, when I used to cycle to my local pits on my grifter😕

[@Yosser70]

Yeah but you had a grifter, that easily makes up for it!

[@paulfranciosi5970]

Grifter bloody heck remember them when god's dog was a pup lol shows our age lol

[@Mark-zn5om]

Another great film from the guys at carpology, Joe cracks me up! "small packages" 😂😂😂 Jokes aside, the guys at sonik are really putting out some quality merch at great prices! Just picked up the new 5 season sleep system for £215 a bargain for how comfy it is!...

[@shaunoakman5609]

Just got some Vader rods after watching your reviews on them ... Cheers fella - well happy with them, look stunning 👍👍

[@joerghoffmann773]

very good video: enough facts & figures and also authentic and entertaining. Well Done! Ordering the package soon, can't wait to get it!

[@greggbeere6007]

Cute little package...you can't beat a fishing innuendo to start the weekend 😆

[@itsspoken6111]

Hi which Sonik reel did you pair up with the 8ft extractor please? As in 6000 etc?

[@Mathewwalker1294]

I have Vader 12ft 2.75 and extractor 3.5 rods both brilliant rods to use especially for the price

[@lewisgoodwin4]

Hi I live in paulton witch is up the road from Norton what is the lake call you where fishing too..???

[@g4geetar]

How do you attach the 3 sleeves together to transport. Sonik suggest middle one upside down but yours werent in this video. Can you do a demo video?

[@lelandanddadoutdoors5421]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video. Would the 8ft 2.5lb tc be any good for surface fishing. Would love to keep all my rods sonik instead of getting a fox floater rod

[@jensdeclerck592]

What was the brand off the unhooking mat

[@QuickJoe]

What bag did you clip them on to?

[@thedrvn]

2:18 🤣🤣

[@jukebox696969]

Can anyone tell me what the music is in this video please?

[@steveshiret4143]

Rods are great but not a fan of their bags so got my 9ft xtractors in a Nash dwarf 2 rod bag 👍🎣

[@steveshiret4143]

My 9ft Rods fit nicely in the dwarf double rod bag

[@carldyke76]

Silly question are these just for say going abroad to France with due to the size or could you use them as normal rods in the UK ? Or are they not ideal and I'd be better off sticking with conventional rods ??

[@Familyman0838]

They can be used for both simply pick the length and test curve that fits your fishing style the 12ft versions can be used just like your normal two piece versions hope this helps tight lines m8

[@pcarp6863]

What reels did you have on them?

[@owencleary9638]

P Carp the xtractor reels

[@Aaron_Butcher3007]

How far were u casting them solid bags with the 8ft 3lb

[@greggbeere6007]

Feels tiny...that'll be the cold weather... Stop😆

[@daveyoung6539]

Love my set

[@josephnewman8203]

Love sonik

[@liamkew1036]

Can they hold decent fish don’t want it snapping on me when pulling in a decent fish

[@fastbicyclerider7300]

They hold

[@SciD1]

Get a tiny rod pod, or use bank sticks, but don't fish carp without a Delkim! Come on! Those screaming Delkims make carp fishing so special.

[@jaketwowheels760]

Looks about the size for a cider angler

[@davidgrenville1582]

Them or nash dwarf 6ft Or nash scope 6ft

[@mpw4925]

Those rods got a big mistake when they been made , 12ft two section telescopic after catch a fish those parts twist, after palying fish from side or turning the rod , not matte how hard you pull those parts out they will twist, had two after catch five fish I had to return those rods.

[@stephen9466]

Was thinking of buying the 12ft recons. After reading your comment, about twisting, I may have to rethink. I wonder what sonik say, or have they improved the design 🤔

[@fastbicyclerider7300]

stephen9466 I don’t have a issue

[@MRT.1977]

I have 12ft recons and 8ft recons. They are all great rods, no issues atall.
